The rapture, the term is a transliteration from the Latin for caugth up. The Greek word meaning "we shall be caught up." 1 Thessalonians 4:17. Verses 15, 16 teaches that the rapture will not take place before the resurrection of believers. Now the millennium refers to the thousand year rule of the resurrected believers before the end of our known universe and the resurrection and judgment of the rest of mankind, Revelation 20:4-12, 15.
